Reminds me of High School, when a certain football player, on a team that won 4 games in 4 years, told me I wasn't really an athlete, because swimmers had soft muscles. After I goaded him into hitting me hard in the solar plexus without a flinch in front of numerous witnesses, that kind of talk ended, in that school anyway.
